http://www.wickedlocal.com/duxbury/news/x1160499383/Duxbury-s-Mary-Lampert-recognized-for-leading-fight-to-keep-radioactive-waste-dump-out-of-stateLong-time anti-nuclear activist Mary Lampert has been recognized for her leadership in the successful 1996 effort to prevent the siting of a radioactive waste dump in Massachusetts.
The coalition that led the effort, Don’t Waste Massachusetts, was selected from over 100 nominees to receive one of Toxics Action Center’s 25 Years of Victories awards.
Winners were chosen by a selection committee of environmental and public health professionals and honored at the Environmental Action 2012 conference in Boston Saturday.
Lois Gibbs, of the 1970’s Love Canal toxic cleanup case, handed out the awards and congratulated the winners.
